Long version
Modes of operation
Basicaly there are two modes of operation: Work and Rest.
RSI Clock cannot sense wether you are working at your computer or not,
so you've got to signal RSI Clock whenerver you start or stop working by
tapping on the screen.
Each time you tap the screen the mode alternates between work and rest.
You can determine the current mode
by looking at the icon in the upper right off the screen.
If a cross ()
is displayed the mode is resting.
Two hammers ()
indicate working.
Yes, I know not everybody goes to (a christian) church on a during the weekend,
and perhaps fewer owners of a Palm work with hammers.
The use of these symbols are "inspired" by train tables.
I've chosen to stick with the familiar symbols.
Forced Rests
If you have worked for a while,
the application will signal it's time for a few seconds rest.
An alarmsound will be played and a (small) flashing dot will be displayed.
Notify RSI Clock that you've started your micro rest by a tap on the screen.
Remove also your other hand of the keyboard and relax.
This forced rest is signaled by a alarm sound and flashing dot on the screen.
During this rest this dot will disappear segement by segment.
When the dot has completely disappreared,
the forced rest has ended.
You can now tap on the screen to indicate you start typing aggain.
Attention: During a forced rest,
tapping the screen doesn't change the mode to rest.
If you've worked for a longer time,
the appication will signal for a longer rest.
The macro rest works the same as the micro rest,
exept the dot will be bigger and the alarm sound might be different.

Status bars
The screen shows two status bars.
During work they will grow.
If the status bar reaches the top of the screen
the forced rest will start.
The left status bar indicates for micro rests
and the right status bar for macro rests.
During rest the status bars will empty themself.
If a status bar is completely empty it will disappear.
